It looks like Royal Caribbean has refreshed its onboard photo packages you can purchase online.

A few RoyalCaribbeanBlog readers noticed a new set of photo packages that include a set amount of prints or digital copies.

Thanks to Thomas Bissland for providing this screenshots

In addition, the unlimited photo package seems to have disappeared from the offerings.

Photo packages allow guests to take home a select amount of photos taken onboard their Royal Caribbean ship. One photo package covers all guests in your stateroom.

Royal Caribbean is offering up to 40% off drink packages, shore excursions, specialty dining and more with its Deals on Deck sale.

The new offer applies to bookings made between April 21, 2020 – April 27, 2020 and before Booking Deadline stated in Cruise Planner, whichever is earlier.

Offer applies to select sailings departing September 1, 2020 – December 31, 2020.

Like all pre-cruise sales, the discount amount will vary, but many RoyalCaribbeanBlog readers are reporting significant savings on the Deluxe Beverage Package.

As a novice casino gamer, I can tell you it can be daunting at times to learn a new game, and it looks like Casino Royale is offering a new option to learn to play and walk away with free drinks.

A new option on Royal Caribbean's Cruise Planner is called "Learn To Play: Casino Table Games", which costs $25 per adult and it includes $25 in FreePlay, plus two complimentary drinks.

Guests that sign up will get step-by-step instructions for either Blackjack, Roulette, Three Card Poker or Ultimate Texas Hold’em.

The cost of the activity is credited back in casino FreePlay, and the two free drinks are a bonus.

You can find this activity on select Royal Caribbean sailings by accessing the Cruise Planner, and going to Internet & More > Casino Royale

Guests must be 18 to participate, and under 21 years old can redeem their beverage voucher at the Casino Bar for non-alcoholic beverages.

Thanks to RoyalCaribbeanBlog reader CGTLH for alerting us to this new option.

If you pre-purchased drink packages, spa treatments or anything else on Royal Caribbean's Cruise Planner site and now your cruise is cancelled, Royal Caribbean will give you the option of onboard credit in the value of 125% of the total Cruise Planner purchases on your reservation.

This new option is only for cruises cancelled between April 11 and May 11. Royal Caribbean is now giving guests the choice to get a 100% refund of pre-purchased add-ons or 125% value in onboard credit. This is in addition to the offer of a 100% refund on the cruise fare or 125% future cruise credit.

Guests have until April 8, 2020 to pick between the two options.  

If you do want to take advantage of the 125% onboard credit offer, you can use a self-service form to process the request.

If you do not fill out that form on or before April 8, all Cruise Planner purchases will be automatically refunded.

In the first 30 days of cancelled cruises, Royal Caribbean did not offer this onboard credit for Cruise Planner purchases.

Royal Caribbean has added a variety of casino tournaments to pre-book via its Cruise Planner website.

RoyalCaribbeanBlog reader Lorraine Steeves shared a screenshot of some of the options.

Options for blackjack, poker and slot tournaments now appear for some cruises.  Once on the ship, you have to visit the Casino Cashier on Day 1 to register for the tournament.

Casino tournaments are offered on most cruises, but it has historically been something to sign up for exclusively once onboard.

Let us know: Will you prebook one of these tournaments? Tell us in the comments!
